Toilet chip repair for Gun Hill homes

About our toilet chip repair in Gun Hill

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Gun Hill questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Gun Hill?

We do. We send a technician to Gun Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Gun Hill and the rest of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Gun Hill

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
