Toilet chip repair near Kitwood

Repairing versus replacing in Kitwood

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Kitwood

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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kitwood

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Kitwood

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
