Toilet chip repair in Auchenharvie

Toilet chip repair at your home in Auchenharvie

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Auchenharvie?

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, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Auchenharvie

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Auchenharvie

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
