Common questions in Chegworth

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover Chegworth?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chegworth and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Chegworth included. There is no extra charge for travel.

About our toilet chip repair in Chegworth

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, 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 charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chegworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chegworth. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When to call us in Chegworth

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
