Toilet chip repair in Horton Kirby

Toilet chip repair in Horton Kirby without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Horton Kirby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job.

Common questions in Horton Kirby

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Horton Kirby?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you work in Horton Kirby?

We do. Technicians travel to Horton Kirby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

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

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

We don’t 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.
