Toilet chip repair near Badshot Lea

Toilet chip repair in Badshot Lea without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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 regularly repair toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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

What we’re called out for in Badshot Lea

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Badshot Lea get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Badshot Lea clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

Questions from Badshot Lea

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Badshot Lea

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
