Need toilet chip repair in Farmborough?

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Toilet chip repair in Farmborough, done in place

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

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.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we would advise against a repair

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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

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 generally 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. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Farmborough. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

FAQs for Farmborough

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Bath and North East Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
