Toilet chip repair near Alconbury

Toilet chip repair in Alconbury, done in place

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 the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Alconbury

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire toilet

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Alconbury?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two hours.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
