When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Toilet chip repair at your home in Kirkthorpe

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Kirkthorpe

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Kirkthorpe

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Wakefield, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
