Choosing a repair company

Toilet chip repair at your home in Kirkoswald

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kirkoswald

  • Vitreous china

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Kirkoswald

Do you work in Kirkoswald?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kirkoswald for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Kirkoswald

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
