When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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)

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

Materials we repair

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

About our toilet chip repair in Kettering

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 regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
