Toilet chip repair near Craigour

About our toilet chip repair in Craigour

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Craigour

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Craigour, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Craigour?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Before you book anyone

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures 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 you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
