Toilet chip repair for Fettercairn homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Fettercairn

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 will tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Fettercairn. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through 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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

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

How to get 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 straight away whether it can be repaired.
