Toilet chip repair for Tadley homes

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tadley. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Tadley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Tadley

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace in Tadley?

Replacing a toilet means 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, 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 are paying for.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our pricing.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Tadley: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

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.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
