How we handle toilet chip repair in Newbridge Drive
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

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 leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Newbridge Drive
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are 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 DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
