Toilet chip repair for Ickburgh homes

Why repair rather than replace?

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

Toilet chip repair in Ickburgh without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Ickburgh get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
