Choosing a repair company

How we handle toilet chip repair in Broad Tenterden

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Broad Tenterden as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Broad Tenterden

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Broad Tenterden included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do the materials smell?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Take a look at our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Broad Tenterden. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
