About our toilet chip repair in Thornton-le-Clay

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals.

We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

Thornton-le-Clay questions

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Thornton-le-Clay.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes an hour or two. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Thornton-le-Clay?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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 frequently lifts.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO60 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
