Toilet chip repair in Dothill, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Dothill

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Telford and Wrekin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there any odour?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

  • Pedestals

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Dothill?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Dothill. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you’re in Dothill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

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. Allow one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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 match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
