How we handle toilet chip repair in Up Somborne

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 will say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Up Somborne and across Hampshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Up Somborne

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Up Somborne?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Up Somborne

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
