How we handle toilet chip repair in Whiteclosegate

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whiteclosegate and across Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Whiteclosegate?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Choosing a repair company

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, 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. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
