Repairing versus replacing in Podsmead

About our toilet chip repair in Podsmead
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Podsmead. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Podsmead get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Podsmead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit

- 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’ll say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
