Toilet chip repair near Rew Street

Toilet chip repair in Rew Street, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Rew Street and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two, including clearing up.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china

Repairing versus replacing in Rew Street

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rew Street. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rew Street as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
