How we handle toilet chip repair in Sotby

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

  3. We sand the repair level.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Sotby

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

We work UK-wide, so Sotby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sotby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What affects the price in Sotby

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Sotby

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
