Toilet chip repair at your home in Castle Green

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Castle Green as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Castle Green

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two.

  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. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Castle Green, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Castle Green. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Castle Green customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Materials we repair

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

  • Chips on the cistern lid

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

  • Whether they match the colour on site
