Toilet chip repair in Church Hill without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t 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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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 before booking.

FAQs for Church Hill

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Church Hill?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Church Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Church Hill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Church Hill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Church Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take an hour or two.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

If you’re in Church Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
