About our toilet chip repair in Knucklas

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

  • Chips on the pan or rim

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Knucklas

Are you accredited?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Knucklas

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Knucklas. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

If you’re in Knucklas and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
