How we handle toilet chip repair in Great Ponton

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Great Ponton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Great Ponton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new 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. Prices start from £95. 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.
