Toilet chip repair in Hartgrove

About our toilet chip repair in Hartgrove

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Hartgrove

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

Hartgrove: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Hartgrove?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hartgrove. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Hartgrove

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hartgrove as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Hartgrove

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
