About our toilet chip repair in Withern

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Withern as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Withern

A new toilet needs 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. 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.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Withern

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Are there extra charges for Withern?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Withern

  • Cisterns & lids

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
