About our toilet chip repair in Yarnfield

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Yarnfield and across Wiltshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Yarnfield

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Yarnfield

Yarnfield: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Yarnfield. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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 regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
