Toilet chip repair in Coryton

About our toilet chip repair in Coryton

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Coryton

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the entire of Thurrock?

The whole UK, including all of Thurrock. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Coryton.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Coryton. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SS17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Coryton?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

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

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. 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
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Coryton

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
