About our toilet chip repair in Kirkwhelpington

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirkwhelpington

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Kirkwhelpington customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Common problems we fix in Kirkwhelpington

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

  • A crack through the bowl or trap

Landlord and trade work in Kirkwhelpington

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkwhelpington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.
