Book toilet chip repair in Balmedie

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Toilet chip repair in Balmedie, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. 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, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Balmedie

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Balmedie

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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

Are you accredited?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repairing versus replacing in Balmedie

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
