Book toilet chip repair in Bishopstone

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

Toilet chip repair in Bishopstone, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Bishopstone: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Bishopstone and the rest of Wiltshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Wiltshire.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What affects the price in Bishopstone

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
