Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Burton Bradstock. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

About our toilet chip repair in Burton Bradstock

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Burton Bradstock

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Burton Bradstock

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Burton Bradstock?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
