Toilet chip repair in Charter Alley

About our toilet chip repair in Charter Alley

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairing versus replacing in Charter Alley

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not 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.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Charter Alley questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Charter Alley?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charter Alley

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charter Alley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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