Toilet chip repair near Arlingham

How we handle toilet chip repair in Arlingham

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Arlingham

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Arlingham included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Arlingham.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arlingham

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arlingham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

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

  • Chips on the pan or rim
