How we handle toilet chip repair in Ardvasar

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. 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 cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, across toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid

10 questions to ask before booking

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would 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 will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Ardvasar: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work in Ardvasar?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ardvasar. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Ardvasar?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Landlord and trade work in Ardvasar

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
