Toilet chip repair near Skirethorns

Toilet chip repair in Skirethorns, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How to compare quotes

Skirethorns: your questions answered

What about a leaking crack?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Are there extra charges for Skirethorns?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
