Repairing versus replacing in Sheerness

Replacing a toilet needs 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. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

About our toilet chip repair in Sheerness

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. We are often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Sheerness

Do you cover Sheerness?

We do. We send a technician to Sheerness for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Sheerness. Prices do not change with location.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Sheerness

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
