How we handle toilet chip repair in Ruscombe

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Ruscombe

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you come to Ruscombe?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ruscombe and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Ruscombe

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
It’s sanded flush.
We colour-match and finish the glaze.
Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

How easy the damage is to reach
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Unusual colours or finishes
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

Something in shot to show the size
One sharp close-up of the damage
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A wider photo showing the whole toilet

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
