Toilet chip repair near Sandwich

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Toilet chip repair in Sandwich, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sandwich. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Sandwich

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Choosing a repair company

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its 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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlord and trade work in Sandwich

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Sandwich
