About our toilet chip repair in Hillend

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Getting ready for the visit

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hillend. The price reflects:

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

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hillend. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Hillend

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
