Toilet chip repair in Bayford

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Bayford

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, across porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a 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. We don’t add 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?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Bayford

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Do you work in Bayford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bayford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
