Toilet chip repair near Tai-Drill

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Toilet chip repair in Tai-Drill without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Tai-Drill

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Tai-Drill

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Tai-Drill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover Tai-Drill?

We do. We send a technician to Tai-Drill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Tai-Drill?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
