Toilet chip repair in Papworth Everard

Toilet chip repair in Papworth Everard, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Landlord and trade work in Papworth Everard

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair 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, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Papworth Everard

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole toilet

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CB23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
