Book toilet chip repair in Thelbridge

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

About our toilet chip repair in Thelbridge

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Thelbridge

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Thelbridge is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Advice

When to call us in Thelbridge

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 generally the cheaper route.
