Toilet chip repair near Unthank

Toilet chip repair at your home in Unthank

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Unthank questions

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Unthank?

We do. We send a technician to Unthank for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What we’re called out for in Unthank

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Unthank

For anyone letting property in or around Unthank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Unthank

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
