Toilet chip repair near Laxton

About our toilet chip repair in Laxton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Laxton customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What affects the price in Laxton

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Laxton
