Toilet chip repair in Waddington

About our toilet chip repair in Waddington

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 the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Waddington

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Waddington

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When we would advise against a repair

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’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Waddington

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waddington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Waddington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
