When to call us in Cotwall

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair in Cotwall, done in place

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’ll say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after 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. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Cotwall

Do you work in Cotwall?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cotwall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
