Toilet chip repair in Crooke

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Crooke

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we are called out for in Crooke

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions from Crooke

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Crooke included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
