Toilet chip repair for Foxholes homes

What affects the price in Foxholes

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Foxholes. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

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

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Foxholes

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Foxholes?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

There is 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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Foxholes

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
