About our toilet chip repair in Fairlee

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Our hiring checklist

Fairlee questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Fairlee.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Fairlee?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Fairlee. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

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.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Fairlee

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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
