Toilet chip repair near Kirby Bellars

Toilet chip repair in Kirby Bellars without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Kirby Bellars questions

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Kirby Bellars

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

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.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole toilet

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
