About our toilet chip repair in Rownhams

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will 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. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.

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

Our hiring checklist

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rownhams. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Rownhams

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Rownhams

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Rownhams.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you cover the whole of Southampton?

The entire UK, including all of Southampton. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Southampton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

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

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
