Toilet chip repair for Upper Coll homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Upper Coll

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Upper Coll. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole toilet

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

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:
