Toilet chip repair in Soudley

Toilet chip repair at your home in Soudley

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Soudley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Soudley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Soudley

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Soudley: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Will there be a smell?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover Soudley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Soudley and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, 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.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Soudley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Soudley

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
