About our toilet chip repair in Keelby

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Keelby. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Keelby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

10 questions to ask before booking

Keelby questions

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of North East Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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 leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two, including clearing up.

  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
