Toilet chip repair near Walston

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walston

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Toilet chip repair in Walston, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Walston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Walston

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow an hour or two.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Questions from Walston

Do you cover the entire of South Lanarkshire?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Walston

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
