Toilet chip repair in Waterfront

Toilet chip repair in Waterfront without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Waterfront?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

10 questions to ask before you book

Waterfront: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you cover Waterfront?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Waterfront from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Waterfront. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
