Toilet chip repair near North Motherwell

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Toilet chip repair at your home in North Motherwell

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

North Motherwell questions

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the entire of North Lanarkshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re 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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ML1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we can’t put right

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
