Toilet chip repair near Whitley

About our toilet chip repair in Whitley

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 the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, in toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common questions in Whitley

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Whitley.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whitley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitley

A new toilet means 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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
