Toilet chip repair at your home in Westrip

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the 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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace in Westrip?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our prices page.

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Westrip, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Westrip

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is it messy?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can you do it?

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

What we’re called out for in Westrip

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair
