Toilet chip repair in Anniesland, 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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

What affects the price in Anniesland

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Anniesland

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Anniesland

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Anniesland.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.

Landlord and trade work in Anniesland

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Anniesland use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
