Toilet chip repair in Lhanbryde

Toilet chip repair in Lhanbryde without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 often lifts.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lhanbryde, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two hours.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Lhanbryde questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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)

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