Toilet chip repair in Flappit Spring

Toilet chip repair in Flappit Spring without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Flappit Spring

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Flappit Spring included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 work on in Flappit Spring

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Flappit Spring

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the cistern lid

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Flappit Spring

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
