Toilet chip repair for Draycott homes

Toilet chip repair in Draycott without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Draycott

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Draycott as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we are called out for in Draycott

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Draycott: your questions answered

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.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Draycott.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Draycott. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow an hour or two.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE72 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
