Toilet chip repair for Dunnet homes

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Toilet chip repair in Dunnet, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

10 questions to ask before booking

Dunnet questions

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Dunnet, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Dunnet. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
