Toilet chip repair at your home in Upton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Upton

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Upton. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Upton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Upton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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 colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
