About our toilet chip repair in Ordsall

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Ordsall

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Ordsall

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to care for the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ordsall

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common questions in Ordsall

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

What do you need from me?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
