Toilet chip repair in Row Heath

Toilet chip repair in Row Heath, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, in toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Row Heath as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What we’re called out for in Row Heath

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Row Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Row Heath

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
