Toilet chip repair at your home in Ringsfield Common

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Ringsfield Common questions

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Ringsfield Common?

We do. We send a technician to Ringsfield Common for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ringsfield Common

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
