Need toilet chip repair in Hurstbourne Tarrant?

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Toilet chip repair in Hurstbourne Tarrant without replacing anything

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 say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Hurstbourne Tarrant: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

We work UK-wide, so Hurstbourne Tarrant is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

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

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hurstbourne Tarrant use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace in Hurstbourne Tarrant?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
