Toilet chip repair near Princelett

Toilet chip repair in Princelett without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Princelett, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

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.

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. 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.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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 before booking.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Princelett. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Princelett questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Princelett?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
