Toilet chip repair for Bowridge Hill homes

Toilet chip repair in Bowridge Hill without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes an hour or two. 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. 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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Choosing a repair company

Bowridge Hill questions

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bowridge Hill. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Bowridge Hill

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
