Toilet chip repair at your home in Upper Poppleton
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Poppleton
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
