Toilet chip repair near Hill of Fearn

How we handle toilet chip repair in Hill of Fearn

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Hill of Fearn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hill of Fearn as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
