Trusted toilet chip repair in Gib Heath

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Toilet chip repair in Gib Heath without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gib Heath

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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)

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

Questions from Gib Heath

Do I have to be there?

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 review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

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

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes one to two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
