Toilet chip repair in Teynham without replacing anything

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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Teynham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Teynham

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Teynham

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

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