About our toilet chip repair in Almshouse Green

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. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Almshouse Green?

A new 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. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Almshouse Green

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you cover Almshouse Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Almshouse Green. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 typically the cheaper route.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Almshouse Green

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What affects the price in Almshouse Green

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Almshouse Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

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