How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

About our toilet chip repair in Ashby St Mary

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When to call us in Ashby St Mary

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Ashby St Mary: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Ashby St Mary?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ashby St Mary. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ashby St Mary.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
