Advice

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Around Hamble-le-Rice, arranging several trades for a replacement can take a while. A repair needs just one visit.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlord and trade work in Hamble-le-Rice

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 photos.
