Choosing a repair company

Toilet chip repair in The Grange, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot 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 cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in The Grange

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

The Grange questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

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.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

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

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in The Grange and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in The Grange

If you manage property in The Grange, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix 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.
