Toilet chip repair for Eriswell homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eriswell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eriswell as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Toilet chip repair in Eriswell without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

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 use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

Common questions in Eriswell

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
