About our toilet chip repair in Inglemire

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’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Inglemire

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Inglemire. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Do you cover Inglemire?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hull and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Inglemire use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
