Choosing a repair company

Toilet chip repair at your home in Wester Broom

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

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

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Wester Broom

What about a leaking crack?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Wester Broom?

We do. Technicians travel to Wester Broom from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wester Broom

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wester Broom use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repairing versus replacing in Wester Broom

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
