Toilet chip repair near Emmer Green

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our toilet chip repair in Emmer Green

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Emmer Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Emmer Green, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
