Trusted toilet chip repair in Whixley

Toilet chip repair at your home in Whixley

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals

Repairing versus replacing in Whixley

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Whixley clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Whixley. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

Whixley questions

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Whixley and the rest of York. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
