Toilet chip repair in Atlantic Wharf, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Atlantic Wharf

A new 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 normally the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Atlantic Wharf

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you work in Atlantic Wharf?

We do. Technicians travel to Atlantic Wharf from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Are there extra charges for Atlantic Wharf?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Atlantic Wharf

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Atlantic Wharf, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Atlantic Wharf. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the 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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price
