Toilet chip repair in Farnborough

About our toilet chip repair in Farnborough

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, in porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Farnborough

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OX12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Farnborough

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Farnborough

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you work in Farnborough?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Farnborough for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
