Trusted toilet chip repair in Newsholme

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

About our toilet chip repair in Newsholme

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Newsholme questions

Do you cover Newsholme?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Newsholme for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Newsholme included. Travel is included in the price.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Newsholme

Our hiring checklist

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Newsholme, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
