Toilet chip repair in Magpie Green

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Magpie Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

About our toilet chip repair in Magpie Green

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. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Magpie Green

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there any odour?

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

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Magpie Green?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

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