Toilet chip repair near Norman Cross

Norman Cross: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Norman Cross. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Toilet chip repair in Norman Cross without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Norman Cross and across Cambridgeshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Norman Cross

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Norman Cross?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Norman Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Norman Cross customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
