Trusted toilet chip repair in Weston

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Weston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Weston

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. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we’re called out for in Weston

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

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
