Toilet chip repair in Little Hayfield

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

About our toilet chip repair in Little Hayfield

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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 colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SK22 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Hayfield use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Little Hayfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Little Hayfield clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
