Questions from Askomill

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Askomill included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Askomill?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Toilet chip repair in Askomill without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Askomill

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Askomill customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Askomill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
