Toilet chip repair for Meare homes

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Meare

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

Toilet chip repair in Meare without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Meare?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Meare

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
