Toilet chip repair for Bournside homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bournside

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Toilet chip repair in Bournside, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Bournside

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

Common reasons people in Bournside contact us are:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

  • Who will actually do the work

What affects the price in Bournside

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bournside, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing 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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
