Toilet chip repair near Steeple Morden

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

About our toilet chip repair in Steeple Morden

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Steeple Morden: your questions answered

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 for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Steeple Morden use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
