How we handle toilet chip repair in Rushmere

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What a repair can’t fix

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Rushmere

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover Rushmere?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rushmere. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When to call us in Rushmere

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
