Trusted toilet chip repair in Offton

Toilet chip repair at your home in Offton

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 say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Offton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Offton

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Offton
