Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Underdale. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

About our toilet chip repair in Underdale

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When to call us in Underdale

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
