Toilet chip repair for Ashley homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Toilet chip repair in Ashley, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Ashley

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashley

For anyone letting property in or around Ashley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashley

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

What your quote should include
