Toilet chip repair for Charlton Heath homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

How we handle toilet chip repair in Charlton Heath

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Charlton Heath

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Charlton Heath

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Charlton Heath, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Charlton Heath

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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Charlton Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
