Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle toilet chip repair in Roughway

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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Roughway and across Kent. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Roughway

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Roughway, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Roughway

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
