Toilet chip repair in Maltby, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Maltby

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Questions from Maltby

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Maltby included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Maltby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TS8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
