Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair in Thornton-le-Moor without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.

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

Questions from Thornton-le-Moor

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Thornton-le-Moor and the rest of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Thornton-le-Moor?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Thornton-le-Moor. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Thornton-le-Moor customers choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Thornton-le-Moor

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornton-le-Moor as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
