About our toilet chip repair in Barlestone

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Barlestone as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Barlestone

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Barlestone

If you manage property in Barlestone, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
