Toilet chip repair in Dodington

Toilet chip repair in Dodington, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Dodington

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover the entire of Somerset?

Across the UK, so Dodington is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material 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.

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairing versus replacing in Dodington

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common problems we fix in Dodington

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
