FAQs for Woodseats

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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.

Toilet chip repair in Woodseats without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, 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.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Woodseats

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Woodseats

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
