Toilet chip repair at your home in Fole

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, in vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fole. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Fole questions

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Fole?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ST14 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Fole. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
