Toilet chip repair near Filleigh

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Filleigh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Filleigh

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Filleigh: your questions answered

Do you cover Filleigh?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When to call us in Filleigh

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Filleigh

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our pricing.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Filleigh and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
