Toilet chip repair in Dent without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Dent, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dent use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

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 with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dent, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Dent

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Dent?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work in Dent?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dent and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
