Toilet chip repair near Sleaford

Toilet chip repair at your home in Sleaford

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

10 questions to ask before booking

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sleaford. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Common questions in Sleaford

Are there extra charges for Sleaford?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
