Common problems we fix in Hartwith

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of St Jude, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

10 questions to ask before booking

Toilet chip repair at your home in Hartwith

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

In and around Hartwith, older homes can have toilets that are hard to replace like for like. A repair keeps everything matching.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

We bring everything needed for the toilet chip repair, so there is no second trip.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we’d advise against a repair

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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Older homes around Hartwith may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Hartwith

Can you restore the original toilets in an older house in Hartwith?

In most cases: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we’ll advise.

Can you fix toilets at a school or business in Hartwith?

Yes, and we are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. We’ll agree timings that suit the building.

Do you work in Hartwith?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hartwith. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
