Toilet chip repair in Mulbarton, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, in vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mulbarton

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

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

If you’re in Mulbarton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Mulbarton

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

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to compare quotes

Mulbarton: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What about a leaking crack?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
