About our toilet chip repair in Blackwater

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, across toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackwater as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our prices page.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Blackwater. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Blackwater and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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

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