Toilet chip repair near Mongewell

How we handle toilet chip repair in Mongewell

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

FAQs for Mongewell

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
