Toilet chip repair in Whirlow, done in place
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 regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Whirlow
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Whirlow questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Sheffield.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
