Toilet chip repair for Polsloe homes

What affects the price in Polsloe

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

Toilet chip repair at your home in Polsloe

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Polsloe

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Polsloe

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work in Polsloe?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Polsloe and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

When to call us in Polsloe

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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