Toilet chip repair near Dean

Toilet chip repair in Dean, done in place

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 will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Dean?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Dean

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Dean

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Wiltshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Dean

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who turns up on the day

Honest limits

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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SP5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
