Toilet chip repair near Ellington

When we would advise against a repair

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

About our toilet chip repair in Ellington

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ellington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Ellington

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ellington. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire toilet

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When to call us in Ellington

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Ellington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Ellington

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
