About our toilet chip repair in Guide Post

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, across toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Guide Post

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Guide Post

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Guide Post?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE62 postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Guide Post?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Guide Post. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans

What affects the price in Guide Post

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
