Toilet chip repair at your home in Ponsford

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. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. 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. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Ponsford

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Ponsford?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Send photos for a quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Ponsford get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
