Toilet chip repair near Kingston Lisle

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Toilet chip repair in Kingston Lisle without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Kingston Lisle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

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 leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What we’re called out for in Kingston Lisle

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

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
