Choosing a repair company

About our toilet chip repair in Ivychurch

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Ivychurch questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you come to Ivychurch?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ivychurch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it 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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

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 no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ivychurch

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
