Toilet chip repair in Waddon

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we handle toilet chip repair in Waddon

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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. Our technicians work on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Waddon questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Waddon included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
