Toilet chip repair at your home in Swillington Common

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Swillington Common questions

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Swillington Common?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover the entire of Leeds?

We cover the entire UK, including Swillington Common and the rest of Leeds. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Swillington Common and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
