Toilet chip repair in Washpit

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Toilet chip repair in Washpit without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, across vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we are called out for in Washpit

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Washpit

For anyone letting property in or around Washpit, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Washpit. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.
