Toilet chip repair in Welby

Toilet chip repair in Welby without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, in cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Welby

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Welby

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Landlord and trade work in Welby

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
