Toilet chip repair for Biggin homes

Repairing versus replacing in Biggin

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Toilet chip repair in Biggin, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Biggin: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Landlord and trade work in Biggin

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.

If you manage property in Biggin, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Biggin, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
