Toilet chip repair in Shader

Toilet chip repair at your home in Shader

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shader as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Shader questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your HS2 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Shader, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
