Toilet chip repair near Bourn

Toilet chip repair at your home in Bourn

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything

Bourn: your questions answered

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you work in Bourn?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Bourn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

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

  • 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 you book.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Bourn

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
