Toilet chip repair for Ringley homes

Toilet chip repair in Ringley without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ringley as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace in Ringley?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Ringley customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ringley. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ringley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
