10 questions to ask before you book

Toilet chip repair in Renton, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Renton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Renton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Renton. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Renton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Renton

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Renton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
