How we handle toilet chip repair in Millhayes

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

10 questions to ask before you book

Millhayes: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

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

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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