Toilet chip repair near Westfield

Toilet chip repair in Westfield, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Westfield as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Westfield

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
