Toilet chip repair for Elham homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

How we handle toilet chip repair in Elham

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Elham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Elham

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Elham customers choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site

Do you come to Elham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Elham and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
