Toilet chip repair for Keyston homes

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PE28 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Keyston

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Common problems we fix in Keyston

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Keyston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
