Toilet chip repair in Claverton Down

About our toilet chip repair in Claverton Down

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Claverton Down

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Claverton Down?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

Landlord and trade work in Claverton Down

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Claverton Down as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Claverton Down

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
