Toilet chip repair for Dunvant homes

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used 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. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Toilet chip repair in Dunvant without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we’re called out for in Dunvant

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Dunvant

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Dunvant: your questions answered

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you cover Dunvant?

We do. Technicians travel to Dunvant from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunvant

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunvant use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in Dunvant?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunvant. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
