How to compare quotes

Toilet chip repair in Reydon Smear without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Reydon Smear

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Reydon Smear. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Reydon Smear

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
