Choosing a repair company

Toilet chip repair at your home in Westlinton

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Westlinton

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover Westlinton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Westlinton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Westlinton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repair or replace in Westlinton?

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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
