Toilet chip repair in Golant, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace in Golant?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Golant

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Golant?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
