Trusted toilet chip repair in Todber

Toilet chip repair at your home in Todber

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Todber

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Todber questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Todber. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Todber. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Todber, and we will reply with a fixed price.
