Book toilet chip repair in Gutch Common

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Toilet chip repair at your home in Gutch Common

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Gutch Common?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Gutch Common customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What affects the price in Gutch Common

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gutch Common. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

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.

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Questions from Gutch Common

Do I need to be at home?

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

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work in Gutch Common?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Gutch Common from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Gutch Common and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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