Toilet chip repair in Stanton Harcourt

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Stanton Harcourt

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Stanton Harcourt, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Stanton Harcourt

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Questions from Stanton Harcourt

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover Stanton Harcourt?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stanton Harcourt and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
