Need toilet chip repair in Borehamwood?

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

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

Toilet chip repair at your home in Borehamwood

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Borehamwood

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Borehamwood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Borehamwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

When to call us in Borehamwood

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

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.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Common questions in Borehamwood

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
