Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair at your home in Minster

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Minster as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Minster

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Minster?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Minster. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What information do you need?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Minster use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

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

Materials we repair

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