Toilet chip repair at your home in Strood

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Strood as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Strood

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work in Strood?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Strood and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TN17 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Strood

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in Strood

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Strood?

Replacing a 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
