How we handle toilet chip repair in Rye Foreign

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rye Foreign use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Rye Foreign

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you come to Rye Foreign?

We do. We send a technician to Rye Foreign for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Rye Foreign get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Rye Foreign customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
