Trusted toilet chip repair in Keysoe Row

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your MK44 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Toilet chip repair in Keysoe Row without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Keysoe Row and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 often lifts.

FAQs for Keysoe Row

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Bedford Borough, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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