Toilet chip repair in Redworth

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Redworth

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We’re frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Redworth and across County Durham. Take care with 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 is no charge for travel to Redworth. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Redworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
