Toilet chip repair in Rough Common without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Rough Common

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

Rough Common questions

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Rough Common?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
