How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

About our toilet chip repair in West Sleekburn

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.

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.

What affects the price in West Sleekburn

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Questions from West Sleekburn

What about a leaking crack?

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

Is repairing better 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.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in West Sleekburn?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
