How we handle toilet chip repair in Newenden

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. 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.

Can I fix it myself?

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Newenden?

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Newenden questions

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Newenden. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send photos?

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

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to Newenden?

We do. Technicians travel to Newenden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

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 leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
