About our toilet chip repair in Salen

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Salen and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Salen

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Argyll and Bute.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Salen. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to compare quotes

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
