Toilet chip repair in Presteigne without replacing anything

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 will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Presteigne. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

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. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

You don’t 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Presteigne

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Presteigne?

We do. We send a technician to Presteigne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Repairing versus replacing in Presteigne

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
