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

Our hiring checklist

How we handle toilet chip repair in St Marychurch

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Landlord and trade work in St Marychurch

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two, including clearing up.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repairing versus replacing in St Marychurch

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the entire UK

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
