Toilet chip repair for Mid Auchinleck homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Mid Auchinleck

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Mid Auchinleck: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

  • What it’s made of, if you know

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
