Toilet chip repair in Scalby

About our toilet chip repair in Scalby

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scalby

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Scalby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
