How we handle toilet chip repair in Reighton

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’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Reighton as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Reighton. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Reighton

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. 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.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do 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’ll say what we think.
