Toilet chip repair in Newstead, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Newstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything

Read our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Newstead questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you quote from photos?

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

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Newstead. Prices do not change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
