Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About our toilet chip repair in Washbrook Street

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Washbrook Street

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Washbrook Street

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

FAQs for Washbrook Street

Is it messy?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours, including clearing up.

  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. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Washbrook Street and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.
