How we handle toilet chip repair in Staythorpe

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Staythorpe

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Staythorpe, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Staythorpe

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Staythorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Staythorpe questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Staythorpe?

We do. We send a technician to Staythorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
