Toilet chip repair near Cotonwood

Toilet chip repair in Cotonwood without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Cotonwood, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Cotonwood

Cotonwood: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

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

What about a leaking crack?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How soon can you come?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
