Toilet chip repair at your home in Swannington

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Swannington

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Is there any odour?

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

Do you cover Swannington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Swannington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swannington

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NR9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
