Need toilet chip repair in New Whittington?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

About our toilet chip repair in New Whittington

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What affects the price in New Whittington

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Questions from New Whittington

Do you work in New Whittington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to New Whittington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in New Whittington.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
