Toilet chip repair near Meshaw

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business

Toilet chip repair in Meshaw, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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 regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

FAQs for Meshaw

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 you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

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.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Meshaw

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meshaw use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
