Toilet chip repair at your home in Newton Arlosh

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in Newton Arlosh

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you come to Newton Arlosh?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Newton Arlosh and the rest of Cumbria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
