Choosing a repair company

Toilet chip repair in Rowlatts Hill, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rowlatts Hill as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What areas do you cover?

All of Leicester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Rowlatts Hill. What changes the price is:

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Rowlatts Hill

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
