10 questions to ask before you book

Toilet chip repair in Saxtead, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Saxtead questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Saxtead and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Saxtead. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Saxtead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
