Book toilet chip repair in Gorsley

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Toilet chip repair at your home in Gorsley

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our pricing.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gorsley. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HR9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Herefordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 photos.

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.

Questions from Gorsley

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
