How we handle toilet chip repair in Skillington
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 the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Skillington
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What areas do you cover?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you come to Skillington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Skillington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Skillington
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Skillington. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two. The room is left tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
