Toilet chip repair in Kelvingrove

About our toilet chip repair in Kelvingrove

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Kelvingrove

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What we do, step by step

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. Most visits take one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

What affects the price in Kelvingrove

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your G3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
