How we handle toilet chip repair in Gadshill

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Our hiring checklist

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

Most clients in Gadshill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

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

FAQs for Gadshill

When can you do it?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Gadshill

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
