10 questions to ask before you book

Toilet chip repair in Springthorpe without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Springthorpe

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Springthorpe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take an hour or two, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
