Book toilet chip repair in Orton

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Orton

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

How we handle toilet chip repair in Orton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Orton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
