Toilet chip repair at your home in Skeeby

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

What affects the price in Skeeby

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Skeeby questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
