Toilet chip repair in Ayot St Lawrence

Toilet chip repair in Ayot St Lawrence without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ayot St Lawrence as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What affects the price in Ayot St Lawrence

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ayot St Lawrence. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Ayot St Lawrence

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our full price list.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Ayot St Lawrence questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work 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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
