Toilet chip repair at your home in Hoo

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Hoo?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Hoo

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Hoo and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Hoo?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hoo for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Hoo

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hoo

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hoo use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Hoo

  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow an hour or two, and we will keep you posted as we go.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price
