10 questions to ask before you book

Toilet chip repair in Foundry Town, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, 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 the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Foundry Town, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Foundry Town questions

Are there extra charges for Foundry Town?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Foundry Town.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Repairing versus replacing in Foundry Town

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Foundry Town. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
