Toilet chip repair in Penhale

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

About our toilet chip repair in Penhale

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Penhale clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

What affects the price in Penhale

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

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.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
