Toilet chip repair in Skinflats without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Skinflats and across Falkirk. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Skinflats

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Skinflats.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What information do you need?

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Skinflats. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
