Trusted toilet chip repair in Batham Gate

Toilet chip repair in Batham Gate without replacing anything

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. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Batham Gate

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Batham Gate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
