Long Duckmanton: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Toilet chip repair in Long Duckmanton, done in place

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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its 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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we are called out for in Long Duckmanton

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Long Duckmanton

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll say what we think.
