Toilet chip repair for Custom House homes

Toilet chip repair in Custom House, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Custom House. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Custom House get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Custom House as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Custom House

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Custom House?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

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

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
