About our toilet chip repair in Cranham Corner

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Cranham Corner

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Cranham Corner

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Cranham Corner?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
