How we handle toilet chip repair in Kilby

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.

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

Questions from Kilby

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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.

Materials we work on in Kilby

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Kilby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in Kilby

  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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 usually cheaper.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE18 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
