Toilet chip repair in Wilminstone, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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 work on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Wilminstone

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Wilminstone

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours.

  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. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
