Trusted toilet chip repair in Merley

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

About our toilet chip repair in Merley

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When to call us in Merley

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Merley?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Merley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Merley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Merley questions

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BH21 postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
