How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Most customers in Aldgate get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Toilet chip repair at your home in Aldgate

A crack that leaks cannot 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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Aldgate and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Aldgate

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Aldgate clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
