Toilet chip repair near Southey Green

Toilet chip repair at your home in Southey Green

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Southey Green

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repair or replace in Southey Green?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Southey Green

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Southey Green

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Southey Green, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
