Toilet chip repair in Brentor

How we handle toilet chip repair in Brentor

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. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Brentor

Replacing a toilet needs 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  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 colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brentor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Brentor and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
