Toilet chip repair in Uplees without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Uplees

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uplees use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Uplees. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Advice

Uplees: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace in Uplees?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
