Toilet chip repair near Patchway

Toilet chip repair in Patchway without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When to call us in Patchway

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Patchway

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Patchway. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Patchway?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common questions in Patchway

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
