Trusted toilet chip repair in An t-Ob

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for An t-Ob. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

About our toilet chip repair in An t-Ob

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in An t-Ob

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from An t-Ob

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you come to An t-Ob?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to An t-Ob. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
