When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Toilet chip repair at your home in Elie

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

What affects the price in Elie

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Elie?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Elie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
