Trusted toilet chip repair in Bodicote

Toilet chip repair in Bodicote without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 booking.

Materials we work on in Bodicote

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

What we’re called out for in Bodicote

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bodicote

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bodicote. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

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