Need toilet chip repair in Hayne?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Toilet chip repair in Hayne without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot 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. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hayne and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

Common questions in Hayne

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hayne. Our prices are the same everywhere.

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Hayne

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hayne. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hayne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
