About our toilet chip repair in Loxford

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Loxford questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Loxford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Loxford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Loxford

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IG1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
