Toilet chip repair near Welbourn

About our toilet chip repair in Welbourn

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we’re called out for in Welbourn

  • Chips on the pan or rim

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Welbourn

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. 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.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
