Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair in Snitterton, done in place

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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Snitterton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Snitterton questions

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do you work in Snitterton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Snitterton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Snitterton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What affects the price in Snitterton

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
