About our toilet chip repair in Port Askaig

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in Port Askaig

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Port Askaig

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Port Askaig. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

Common questions in Port Askaig

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Landlord and trade work in Port Askaig

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
