When to call us in Wheatpieces

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Rented homes near Ashchurch for Tewkesbury station (about 1.8 miles north-east) change hands frequently, and repairing toilets between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

About our toilet chip repair in Wheatpieces

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.

Around Wheatpieces, most of the toilets we repair are in family bathrooms and cloakrooms. A chip is usually a short visit.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Wheatpieces

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. In a smaller place like Wheatpieces, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair is one visit from us.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Wheatpieces

Can you restore the original toilets in an older house in Wheatpieces?

Frequently, yes: original pieces are normally worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.

Do you work for schools and businesses in Wheatpieces?

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?

Everywhere in the UK, Wheatpieces included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. In a smaller place like Wheatpieces, parking is rarely a problem. If you are down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Wheatpieces

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

We would 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
