Toilet chip repair in Tibberton

How we handle toilet chip repair in Tibberton

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right.

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

Tibberton questions

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Are there extra charges for Tibberton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Tibberton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes an hour or two. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
