Toilet chip repair in Chilcompton

About our toilet chip repair in Chilcompton

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, across vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Chilcompton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Chilcompton

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

FAQs for Chilcompton

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you come to Chilcompton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chilcompton and the rest of Somerset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What affects the price in Chilcompton

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
