Toilet chip repair near Tutbury

About our toilet chip repair in Tutbury

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Tutbury questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What about a leaking crack?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you come to Tutbury?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tutbury and the rest of Staffordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally 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. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What affects the price in Tutbury

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tutbury. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
