Toilet chip repair for Shalbourne homes

How we handle toilet chip repair in Shalbourne

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shalbourne as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Shalbourne

If you manage property in Shalbourne, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shalbourne. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

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

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Shalbourne

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our full price list.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
