How we handle toilet chip repair in Theddingworth

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Theddingworth

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Theddingworth: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Leicestershire.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Theddingworth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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