Toilet chip repair near Monkerton

How we handle toilet chip repair in Monkerton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Monkerton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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

What affects the price in Monkerton

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Monkerton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Monkerton

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you cover Monkerton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Monkerton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
