Toilet chip repair near Strachur

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

About our toilet chip repair in Strachur

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Strachur. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Strachur

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you work in Strachur?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Strachur for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Strachur. Prices do not change with location.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
