Toilet chip repair in Trematon, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, across pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Trematon questions

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PL12 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover Trematon?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Trematon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire toilet

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
