Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

About our toilet chip repair in Thrapston

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thrapston

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Advice

What affects the price in Thrapston

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Thrapston, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Thrapston

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you work in Thrapston?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Thrapston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Repair or replace in Thrapston?

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
