Toilet chip repair in Seton

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Seton

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

  • Toilet pans

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

Repairing versus replacing in Seton

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
