Repairing versus replacing in Plashet

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business

About our toilet chip repair in Plashet

A crack that leaks cannot 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 the toilet stays in place. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Plashet questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Plashet

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Most clients in Plashet get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Plashet

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plashet as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
