Toilet chip repair in Ashingdon without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

Around Ashingdon, most of the toilets we repair are in family bathrooms and cloakrooms. A chip is normally a short visit.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Ashingdon

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as King Edmund School, toilets and washrooms can be repaired in place too.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead. In a smaller place like Ashingdon, parking is rarely a problem. If you’re down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book and we’ll plan for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Around Ashingdon, arranging several trades for a replacement can take a while. A repair needs just one visit.

Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our Pricing.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

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.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole toilet

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
