Toilet chip repair in Dalbeattie

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

How we handle toilet chip repair in Dalbeattie

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right, on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dalbeattie as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Dalbeattie

Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
