About our toilet chip repair in Kilmington

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Kilmington, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Kilmington: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Kilmington?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kilmington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
