Toilet chip repair for Merevale homes

Toilet chip repair in Merevale, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Merevale and across Warwickshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Merevale

Do you cover the entire of Warwickshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Merevale included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Merevale

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. 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. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
