Toilet chip repair near Blitterlees

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Toilet chip repair in Blitterlees, done in place

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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Blitterlees. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

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

FAQs for Blitterlees

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Blitterlees.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

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. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
