About our toilet chip repair in Kilmore

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Kilmore

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kilmore. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kilmore, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from Kilmore

Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Kilmore. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Kilmore

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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