10 questions to ask before booking

Toilet chip repair in Skipsea without replacing anything

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. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, in cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skipsea as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
