Toilet chip repair in Ottringham, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll 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. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ottringham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There’s 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Ottringham

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you accredited?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ottringham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.
