Toilet chip repair for Thornbury homes

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we handle toilet chip repair in Thornbury

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Thornbury

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

Questions from Thornbury

Are there extra charges for Thornbury?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

What about a leaking crack?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of South Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What happens next?

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Thornbury

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornbury as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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