How we handle toilet chip repair in Woodhouse Eaves
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Woodhouse Eaves
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Woodhouse Eaves included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodhouse Eaves
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Woodhouse Eaves?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
