Trusted toilet chip repair in Skye Green

Toilet chip repair in Skye Green without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Skye Green

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

The price 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 there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Skye Green: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Skye Green. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
