10 questions to ask before you book

Toilet chip repair in Newtown, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, in vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of 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. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace in Newtown?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
