Gunthorpe questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

About our toilet chip repair in Gunthorpe

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gunthorpe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Gunthorpe

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Gunthorpe

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Gunthorpe customers choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
