Toilet chip repair near Lumphanan

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Lumphanan

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lumphanan, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the 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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
