Book toilet chip repair in Ashley Down

What affects the price in Ashley Down

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ashley Down. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

About our toilet chip repair in Ashley Down

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Ashley Down, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ashley Down. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Ashley Down

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you cover Ashley Down?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ashley Down from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

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.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
