Your questions about toilet chip repair in Kingston

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

About our toilet chip repair in Kingston

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Kingston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Kingston

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
