Toilet chip repair near Heatherfield

About our toilet chip repair in Heatherfield

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Heatherfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, 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 book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from Heatherfield

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

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.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 before booking.
