About our toilet chip repair in Portskerra

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

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

What affects the price in Portskerra

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Portskerra. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Most customers in Portskerra get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Portskerra

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portskerra

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
