Toilet chip repair for Lower Brailes homes

Toilet chip repair in Lower Brailes, done in place

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 will say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow an hour or two, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

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.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Lower Brailes

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lower Brailes. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
