Toilet chip repair in Brimscombe

Toilet chip repair in Brimscombe without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Brimscombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Brimscombe

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot 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.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
