Trusted toilet chip repair in Upwey

Toilet chip repair in Upwey without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When to call us in Upwey

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Common reasons people in Upwey contact us are:

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

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Upwey

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Upwey

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.
