Toilet chip repair for Balivanich homes

Landlord and trade work in Balivanich

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

Toilet chip repair in Balivanich without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Balivanich, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

Questions from Balivanich

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your HS7 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

When can you do it?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
