Toilet chip repair for Crawfordjohn homes

About our toilet chip repair in Crawfordjohn

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Crawfordjohn as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Crawfordjohn, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common problems we fix in Crawfordjohn

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Crawfordjohn. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.
