Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair in Stogumber, done in place

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. We regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stogumber as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Porcelain

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stogumber. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Stogumber?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Stogumber

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you cover Stogumber?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stogumber. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

Across the UK, so Stogumber is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in Stogumber

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
