Toilet chip repair in Lyonshall without replacing anything

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 tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, across porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lyonshall and across Herefordshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lyonshall

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lyonshall as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HR5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

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

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

We do. We send a technician to Lyonshall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
