Repairing versus replacing in Dudswell

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

About our toilet chip repair in Dudswell

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Dudswell

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dudswell

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Dudswell: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

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

Do you work in Dudswell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dudswell and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are you accredited?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
