Toilet chip repair near Owston

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Toilet chip repair at your home in Owston

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Owston

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Do you work in Owston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Owston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Owston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

10 questions to ask before booking

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

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’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Owston, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
