Trusted toilet chip repair in Knockholt Pound

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Knockholt Pound, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Knockholt Pound

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Advice

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

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 keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Knockholt Pound

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Is repairing better 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 if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Knockholt Pound?

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
