Toilet chip repair in Winton

About our toilet chip repair in Winton

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, in toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlords, agents and businesses in Winton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Winton

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price toilet chip repair

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Winton

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
