Toilet chip repair in Applecross

Toilet chip repair at your home in Applecross

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

What we’re called out for in Applecross

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

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Applecross

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Applecross. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.
