About our toilet chip repair in Ludlow

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ludlow as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairing versus replacing in Ludlow

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything

Do you hold any accreditations?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Do you come to Ludlow?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ludlow from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ludlow as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks water

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

Materials we repair

  • Toilet pans

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
