Toilet chip repair in Matson

How we handle toilet chip repair in Matson

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Matson

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you work in Matson?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Matson from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What affects the price in Matson

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Matson customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

If you manage property in Matson, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit
