DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

What affects the price in Letchworth Garden City

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

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

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Letchworth Garden City?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Landlords, agents and businesses in Letchworth Garden City

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Letchworth Garden City, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Letchworth Garden City

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Letchworth Garden City

  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
