Toilet chip repair in Stanstead

Toilet chip repair in Stanstead without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stanstead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

Questions from Stanstead

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Stanstead?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stanstead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common problems we fix in Stanstead

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
