Toilet chip repair in Yanwath without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Yanwath and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Yanwath

For anyone letting property in or around Yanwath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

If you’re in Yanwath and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Yanwath?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

  • 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.

What we work on

  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
