Trusted toilet chip repair in Malpas

Toilet chip repair at your home in Malpas

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Malpas

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I book?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Malpas customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Malpas

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Malpas, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Malpas

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Malpas

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

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