Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Toilet chip repair in South Heighton without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need toilet chip repair in South Heighton?
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim

- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for South Heighton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Heighton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
