Toilet chip repair at your home in Hardwick

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hardwick and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why Hardwick customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Hardwick

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HP22 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
