How we handle toilet chip repair in Arabella

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right, on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Arabella: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you work in Arabella?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Arabella and the rest of Highland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repairing versus replacing in Arabella

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Arabella customers choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Arabella

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow an hour or two, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not 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.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is 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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Arabella

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
