How we handle toilet chip repair in Inverlochy

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two, including clearing up.

  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 match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Inverlochy

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Questions from Inverlochy

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Inverlochy?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Inverlochy

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
