Toilet chip repair in Ightfield, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Ightfield: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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 price.

Advice

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Ightfield. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Ightfield get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Ightfield

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ightfield as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.
