Trusted toilet chip repair in Shepshed

Toilet chip repair in Shepshed without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will 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. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Shepshed

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole 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’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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