Toilet chip repair in Mere, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mere

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mere use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Mere

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

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.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
