Toilet chip repair for Wellow homes

FAQs for Wellow

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover Wellow?

We do. We send a technician to Wellow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

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.

Are you accredited?

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

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Is it messy?

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

Toilet chip repair in Wellow, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Wellow

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wellow, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Wellow

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our pricing.

What we cannot put right

We will not 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Wellow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
