How we handle toilet chip repair in Great Alne

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Warwickshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Great Alne

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Great Alne

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Great Alne and the rest of Warwickshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Great Alne?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Great Alne. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: 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.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
