Toilet chip repair for South Hinksey homes

Toilet chip repair at your home in South Hinksey

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 say so if we find one. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically 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. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repair or replace in South Hinksey?
