Toilet chip repair in Kirton

About our toilet chip repair in Kirton

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will 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. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

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