Toilet chip repair in Tholomas Drove

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Toilet chip repair in Tholomas Drove without replacing anything

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

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Tholomas Drove

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Landlord and trade work in Tholomas Drove

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Repairing versus replacing in Tholomas Drove

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
