Toilet chip repair at your home in Low Row
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Low Row?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Low Row
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Low Row and the rest of Cumbria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
