FAQs for Oldfurnace

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

When can you do it?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

About our toilet chip repair in Oldfurnace

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we are called out for in Oldfurnace

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Oldfurnace

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oldfurnace

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oldfurnace use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
