Toilet chip repair near Great Abington

Toilet chip repair at your home in Great Abington

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Great Abington as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Great Abington

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Great Abington is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Repair or replace in Great Abington?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
