Toilet chip repair for Holloway homes

What affects the price in Holloway

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Toilet chip repair in Holloway, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Holloway

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

When can you do it?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Repairing versus replacing in Holloway

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, 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 the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
