How we handle toilet chip repair in Leabrooks

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leabrooks

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Leabrooks

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Derbyshire.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
