Toilet chip repair at your home in Newton-on-Ouse

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Newton-on-Ouse

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Newton-on-Ouse, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton-on-Ouse

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Newton-on-Ouse

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
