Need toilet chip repair in Vaynor?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Toilet chip repair in Vaynor, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.

Every job is backed 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.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Vaynor

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What about a leaking crack?

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

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is there a guarantee?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Vaynor

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What affects the price in Vaynor

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
