Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. 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 at your home in Gravesend

A crack that leaks cannot 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. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gravesend as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

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

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DA12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gravesend. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • The material, if you know it

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gravesend as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
