About our toilet chip repair in Thong

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thong. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Thong and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Thong: your questions answered

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

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Thong?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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 after I send photos?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thong use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Thong, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
