Toilet chip repair in Ridgmont

Toilet chip repair in Ridgmont without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Ridgmont

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from dropped items

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Ridgmont

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Ridgmont get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
