FAQs for Combs

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Toilet chip repair in Combs without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, across pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Combs as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairing versus replacing in Combs

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

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

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

Do you need toilet chip repair in Combs?

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Combs. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SK23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
