About our toilet chip repair in Elmstone Hardwicke

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Elmstone Hardwicke as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When to call us in Elmstone Hardwicke

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Elmstone Hardwicke

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elmstone Hardwicke

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What affects the price in Elmstone Hardwicke

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
