Toilet chip repair in Wardhill

About our toilet chip repair in Wardhill

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our prices page.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Wardhill: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
