Trusted toilet chip repair in Mentmore

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Mentmore

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

Toilet chip repair in Mentmore, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LU7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Mentmore: your questions answered

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

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

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

What about a leaking crack?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you cover Mentmore?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mentmore and the rest of Central Bedfordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Common problems we fix in Mentmore

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Mentmore?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Mentmore clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not 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. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
