Trusted toilet chip repair in Raunds

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area 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 care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Toilet chip repair in Raunds, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Raunds

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Raunds, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Raunds: your questions answered

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Raunds?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
