Toilet chip repair at your home in Charvil

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Charvil: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the whole of Wokingham?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Charvil. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Charvil, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 normally cheaper.
