About our toilet chip repair in Honington

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Honington

Do you come to Honington?

We do. We send a technician to Honington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can you do it?

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Honington

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes an hour or two. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

What affects the price in Honington

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
