Trusted toilet chip repair in Chappel

Toilet chip repair in Chappel, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chappel and across Essex. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Chappel, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Chappel, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two hours.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Repair or replace in Chappel?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
