Toilet chip repair near Stones Green

Toilet chip repair at your home in Stones Green

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Stones Green questions

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Stones Green?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What affects the price in Stones Green

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stones Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Stones Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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 frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
