Trusted toilet chip repair in Petham

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Petham

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, across porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Petham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Petham

If you manage property in Petham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Petham: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

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

Choosing a repair company

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
