How we handle toilet chip repair in Norton

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Norton as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually 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 photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Norton

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Norton questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Norton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix 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.

What affects the price in Norton

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire toilet

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