How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the 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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we handle toilet chip repair in Bradwell

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bradwell and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we are called out for in Bradwell

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Common reasons people in Bradwell contact us include:

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

  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Bradwell: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do you work in Bradwell?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bradwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bradwell. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Bradwell, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
