Toilet chip repair in East Street without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in East Street

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around East Street, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in East Street

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in East Street

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in East Street and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

East Street questions

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you cover East Street?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to East Street. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
