Toilet chip repair in Butterrow

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Toilet chip repair in Butterrow without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Butterrow. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Butterrow. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

  • A crack that leaks water

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

FAQs for Butterrow

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Butterrow and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Gloucestershire.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How the visit works

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

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
