Toilet chip repair for Thrupp homes

Toilet chip repair in Thrupp, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Thrupp?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Thrupp and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
