Toilet chip repair in Somerton

Repair or replace in Somerton?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How we handle toilet chip repair in Somerton

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 is what we find. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Somerton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Questions from Somerton

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

How to compare quotes

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
