Trusted toilet chip repair in Gartmore

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take an hour or two, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Toilet chip repair in Gartmore without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Gartmore

What about a leaking crack?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Stirling.

Repairing versus replacing in Gartmore

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your FK8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
