Toilet chip repair in Ingleby Greenhow without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. 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.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes an hour or two.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repair or replace in Ingleby Greenhow?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
