Toilet chip repair near Orton

Questions from Orton

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NN14 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Toilet chip repair in Orton, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Orton clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

What affects the price in Orton

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
