Trusted toilet chip repair in Dunstan

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Toilet chip repair at your home in Dunstan

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 chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Dunstan

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunstan

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Dunstan

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunstan. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
