Toilet chip repair near Llandaff North

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Llandaff North

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Llandaff North

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Llandaff North

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Llandaff North. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Llandaff North. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
