Trusted toilet chip repair in Ratton Village

Toilet chip repair at your home in Ratton Village

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Around Ratton Village, most of the toilets we repair are in family bathrooms and cloakrooms. Most chips take a short visit.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Ratton Village

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. In a smaller place like Ratton Village, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair is one visit from us.

Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. In a smaller place like Ratton Village, parking is rarely a problem. If you’re down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book and we will plan for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
