Toilet chip repair for Dursley homes

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Dursley

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Dursley.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Will there be a smell?

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

Do you come to Dursley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Dursley. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Toilet chip repair in Dursley, done in place

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 the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Dursley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Dursley

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Dursley

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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our full price list.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes an hour or two, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

If you’re in Dursley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
