Toilet chip repair near Eastgate

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

How we handle toilet chip repair in Eastgate

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Our hiring checklist

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs 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 there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Eastgate

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What about a leaking crack?

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

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

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

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eastgate as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Eastgate customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
