Toilet chip repair in Settiscarth

How we handle toilet chip repair in Settiscarth

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll 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. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Settiscarth

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Settiscarth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
