Toilet chip repair near St Cross

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price.

Toilet chip repair in St Cross without replacing anything

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. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in St Cross

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in St Cross

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in St Cross

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in St Cross

What do you need from me?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
