How we handle toilet chip repair in Tanwood

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • 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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Repairing versus replacing in Tanwood

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Tanwood customers choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Tanwood

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tanwood

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Tanwood

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
