Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our toilet chip repair in Woodston

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Woodston?

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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Woodston

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you work in Woodston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Woodston and the rest of Peterborough. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What affects the price in Woodston

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Woodston. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Woodston

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
