Toilet chip repair near Balemartine

Toilet chip repair at your home in Balemartine

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. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

What affects the price in Balemartine

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Balemartine

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Balemartine

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
