Questions from Rookley Green

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Rookley Green

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. 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 porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s 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.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, 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 the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Rookley Green customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Rookley Green

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

Before booking anyone
