10 questions to ask before you book

Toilet chip repair at your home in Skelbo Muir

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Skelbo Muir. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common questions in Skelbo Muir

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Repair or replace in Skelbo Muir?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
