About our toilet chip repair in Hilmarton

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Hilmarton questions

Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?

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

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Will it make a mess?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What affects the price in Hilmarton

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Hilmarton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll 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.

When to call us in Hilmarton

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
