Toilet chip repair in Faulkbourne

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole toilet

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Faulkbourne

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, across pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Faulkbourne: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Faulkbourne?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Faulkbourne?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Faulkbourne

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

What your quote should include
