Toilet chip repair for Knapton homes

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow an hour or two, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Toilet chip repair in Knapton without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, in vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Our hiring checklist

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

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

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Knapton

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Knapton?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR28 postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
