Toilet chip repair for Keiss homes

Toilet chip repair at your home in Keiss

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

FAQs for Keiss

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Highland. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you come to Keiss?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Keiss and the rest of Highland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Keiss

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Keiss

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. 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 will get a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Keiss, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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