Book toilet chip repair in Friday Hill

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Toilet chip repair in Friday Hill, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Friday Hill as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Friday Hill: your questions answered

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Friday Hill

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Friday Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we are called out for in Friday Hill

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
