Toilet chip repair in Lytchett Matravers

Toilet chip repair in Lytchett Matravers, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Lytchett Matravers, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

There is 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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Lytchett Matravers

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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