Toilet chip repair in Montrose

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Toilet chip repair in Montrose, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot 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 the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Montrose as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Montrose. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Montrose customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Montrose get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
