Trusted toilet chip repair in Saxelbye

About our toilet chip repair in Saxelbye

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Saxelbye

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Saxelbye. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two.

  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 match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Take a look at our pricing.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
