Trusted toilet chip repair in Lochdon

Toilet chip repair at your home in Lochdon

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

Common questions in Lochdon

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you come to Lochdon?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lochdon and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Lochdon?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise 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

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
