Toilet chip repair in Setley without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Setley and across Hampshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Setley

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Do you come to Setley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Setley and the rest of Hampshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, 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 you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

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

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Setley, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Setley?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Setley customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
