Toilet chip repair near Cotesbach

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

Toilet chip repair in Cotesbach 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’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Cotesbach

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For anyone letting property in or around Cotesbach, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Cotesbach

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?

All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in Cotesbach?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
