Toilet chip repair for Holton St Mary homes

Toilet chip repair at your home in Holton St Mary

We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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’ll tell you if that is what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Holton St Mary

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Holton St Mary?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Holton St Mary, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holton St Mary as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
