Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we handle toilet chip repair in South Lopham

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 the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, across cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

South Lopham questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including South Lopham and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in South Lopham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
