About our toilet chip repair in Strathy

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Strathy

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Strathy. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our full price list.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: 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 we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Strathy. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire toilet

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Strathy

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Strathy?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Strathy from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

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.

Do you cover the whole of Highland?

The whole UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
