10 questions to ask before booking

Toilet chip repair in Sherwood Rise without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire toilet

For most jobs, pictures 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.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the 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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Sherwood Rise

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common questions in Sherwood Rise

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.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Sherwood Rise?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
