About our toilet chip repair in Waterbeach

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Waterbeach

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?

The whole UK, including all of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Landlord and trade work in Waterbeach

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterbeach as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Waterbeach

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
