How we handle toilet chip repair in Strand-on-the-Green

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’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Strand-on-the-Green and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from Strand-on-the-Green

What information do you need?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
