Toilet chip repair near Dinnington

Common questions in Dinnington

Is my repair covered?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

Everywhere in the UK, Dinnington included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Toilet chip repair in Dinnington, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t 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. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Dinnington

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Dinnington clients choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
