Toilet chip repair near Lochfoot

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

About our toilet chip repair in Lochfoot

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Lochfoot: your questions answered

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lochfoot. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Lochfoot

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
