Toilet chip repair for Eldroth homes

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Toilet chip repair in Eldroth without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Eldroth?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we’re called out for in Eldroth

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Eldroth. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material 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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eldroth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Eldroth

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
