How we handle toilet chip repair in Mount Pleasant

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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)

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Mount Pleasant

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Mount Pleasant

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Mount Pleasant?

We do. We send a technician to Mount Pleasant for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do I have to be there?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
