Need toilet chip repair in Dry Doddington?

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Toilet chip repair in Dry Doddington, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Dry Doddington get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
