Trusted toilet chip repair in Elmore

Toilet chip repair in Elmore without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Elmore questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Elmore included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elmore

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elmore as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Elmore, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Elmore. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business
