Toilet chip repair in Little Eaton, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

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.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

What we cannot put right

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Little Eaton. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Little Eaton

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do you work in Little Eaton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Little Eaton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Little Eaton?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
