Repairing versus replacing in Sandway

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. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Toilet chip repair in Sandway without replacing anything

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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common problems we fix in Sandway

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Look out for these signs:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Sandway

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandway as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. 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. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Sandway

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Sandway?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
