Questions from Thickholme

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Thickholme?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Thickholme and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

About our toilet chip repair in Thickholme

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Thickholme

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

  • Chips on the cistern lid

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
