10 questions to ask before you book

Toilet chip repair in Temple Ewell without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we’d 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)

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

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

What affects the price in Temple Ewell

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Temple Ewell

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work in Temple Ewell?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Temple Ewell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Temple Ewell?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT16 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
