Toilet chip repair for Wickham Skeith homes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Wickham Skeith

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Questions from Wickham Skeith

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you come to Wickham Skeith?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Wickham Skeith. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Our hiring checklist

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wickham Skeith. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
