Toilet chip repair near Maritime Quarter

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Maritime Quarter

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

How we handle toilet chip repair in Maritime Quarter

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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 regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Maritime Quarter as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Maritime Quarter questions

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What affects the price in Maritime Quarter

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Maritime Quarter. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When to call us in Maritime Quarter

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Maritime Quarter

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Maritime Quarter

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
