About our toilet chip repair in Derringstone

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, in porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Derringstone

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

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.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes an hour or two, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  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
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Derringstone

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. 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 Derringstone as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. 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. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our prices page.

What affects the price in Derringstone

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

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CT4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Derringstone

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
