Toilet chip repair at your home in Swarland

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Swarland, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When to call us in Swarland

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Look out for these signs:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
