Need toilet chip repair in Upton?

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we handle toilet chip repair in Upton

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Are you accredited?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
