About our toilet chip repair in Kilham

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Honest limits

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kilham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Questions to ask before booking

Choosing a repair company

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kilham. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
