Toilet chip repair near Kington Magna

Toilet chip repair at your home in Kington Magna

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Kington Magna, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Kington Magna

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
