Toilet chip repair in Tye

Toilet chip repair in Tye without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.

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 use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Tye?

A new 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. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise 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.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Tye get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Tye questions

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Tye included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Get a quote

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. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
