Toilets in Ellingham homes

In the older streets of Ellingham, around landmarks like Church of St Maurice, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. If you let a flat or house near Chathill station (about 1.2 miles north-east), we repair toilets between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it. Somewhere as small as Ellingham, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the toilet chip repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Repair or replace in Ellingham?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. In an older home in a village like Ellingham, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Do you need toilet chip repair in Ellingham?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

If you manage a building such as Ellingham Church of England Aided Primary School, we repair toilets and washrooms as well as work in homes.

Choosing a repair company

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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 quote.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
