Toilet chip repair near Shirrell Heath

Toilet chip repair at your home in Shirrell Heath

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Shirrell Heath get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

  • Chips on the pan or rim

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Shirrell Heath

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shirrell Heath as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Shirrell Heath, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
