About our toilet chip repair in Copplestone

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 the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Copplestone, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Copplestone

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Copplestone

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Copplestone. Prices do not change with location.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Copplestone. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
