Toilet chip repair in Arbourthorne

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Arbourthorne, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Arbourthorne

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will 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. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Arbourthorne

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arbourthorne

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Arbourthorne?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Arbourthorne

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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