Toilet chip repair at your home in Lydbury North

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Lydbury North

Replacing a toilet needs 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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lydbury North. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Lydbury North

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
