Toilet chip repair for Coronation homes

What we’re called out for in Coronation

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • 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

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair in Coronation without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Coronation. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Coronation, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Coronation

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover Coronation?

We do. We send a technician to Coronation for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we’d advise against a repair

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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price
