How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Toilet chip repair at your home in East Allington

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

East Allington questions

Is there any odour?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
