Toilet chip repair near Sandown

Toilet chip repair in Sandown, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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 are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sandown and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

10 questions to ask before you book

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sandown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Sandown, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO36 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common questions in Sandown

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Sandown and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Isle of Wight.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandown as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
