Trusted toilet chip repair in Whitchurch

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Whitchurch

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. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Whitchurch?

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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Whitchurch: your questions answered

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What about a leaking crack?

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

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Whitchurch

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whitchurch. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Whitchurch and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
