About our toilet chip repair in Kenton

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Kenton: your questions answered

Do you cover Kenton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kenton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kenton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Kenton

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

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in Kenton?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
