Toilet chip repair near An t-Aodann Ban

Toilet chip repair in An t-Aodann Ban, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in An t-Aodann Ban

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in An t-Aodann Ban?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in An t-Aodann Ban?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to An t-Aodann Ban for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
