Toilet chip repair for Woodley homes

How we handle toilet chip repair in Woodley

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Woodley and across Wokingham. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

What affects the price in Woodley

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Woodley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Woodley 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.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Woodley?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
