Trusted toilet chip repair in Old Dalby

Toilet chip repair in Old Dalby, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

The type of damage
How many items we do on one visit
The material and finish
Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

Where you are, by postcode
Details of any past repairs
One sharp close-up of the damage
A wider photo showing the whole toilet

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Old Dalby

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Dalby

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
