Toilet chip repair for North Grimston homes

Toilet chip repair in North Grimston without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Honest limits

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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes an hour or two in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

North Grimston: your questions answered

Do you work in North Grimston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to North Grimston. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
