Book toilet chip repair in Arborfield

Repair or replace in Arborfield?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. 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.

Toilet chip repair in Arborfield without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Arborfield

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  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
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
