Toilet chip repair in Upper Harbledown

Toilet chip repair in Upper Harbledown without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.
