Questions from Hernhill

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

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

How we handle toilet chip repair in Hernhill

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hernhill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Hernhill?

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Hernhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  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. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
