Trusted toilet chip repair in Ide Hill

How we handle toilet chip repair in Ide Hill

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ide Hill

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Ide Hill

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
