About our toilet chip repair in Burghfield Bridge

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

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

Repair or replace in Burghfield Bridge?

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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Burghfield Bridge

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are there extra charges for Burghfield Bridge?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Do you need toilet chip repair in Burghfield Bridge?

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Burghfield Bridge. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Burghfield Bridge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
