Toilet chip repair for Holcombe homes

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

About our toilet chip repair in Holcombe

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Holcombe?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Holcombe questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

Across the UK, so Holcombe is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Holcombe.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
