Toilet chip repair for Shellwood Cross homes

Toilet chip repair in Shellwood Cross without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Shellwood Cross

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Shellwood Cross

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do you come to Shellwood Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shellwood Cross and the rest of Surrey. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shellwood Cross. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole toilet

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 price the job.

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
