Toilet chip repair for Furnace homes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Furnace as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

About our toilet chip repair in Furnace

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Furnace

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Furnace

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Furnace: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover Furnace?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Furnace from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you accredited?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Carmarthenshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Furnace

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
