Toilet chip repair for Way homes

How we handle toilet chip repair in Way

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Way

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you come to Way?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Way and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Way. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
