Toilet chip repair near The Haven

Toilet chip repair at your home in The Haven

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in The Haven

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in The Haven

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt 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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in The Haven

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
