Toilet chip repair near Hilston

About our toilet chip repair in Hilston

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right, on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hilston and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

Hilston: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Hilston

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Hilston

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hilston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
