Advice

Toilet chip repair in East Malling, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

  • 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.

Questions from East Malling

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Repair or replace in East Malling?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Do you need toilet chip repair in East Malling?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for East Malling. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
