How we handle toilet chip repair in Waterfoot

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional 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 will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Waterfoot

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterfoot use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Waterfoot

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down 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 look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.
