Toilet chip repair in Ashover

How we handle toilet chip repair in Ashover

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When to call us in Ashover

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Ashover

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your S45 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ashover.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
