Trusted toilet chip repair in Tatling End

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

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.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Tatling End

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Tatling End

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Tatling End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tatling End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
