Toilet chip repair for Sweethaws homes

How we handle toilet chip repair in Sweethaws

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right, on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans alike.

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 clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Sweethaws

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Sweethaws

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes an hour or two in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Do you need toilet chip repair in Sweethaws?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
