Toilet chip repair for Midton homes

Toilet chip repair in Midton without replacing anything

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 work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Midton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Midton?

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Midton

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Inverclyde.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

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.

Do you come to Midton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Midton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What a repair can’t fix

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
