Toilet chip repair near Wormley Hill

Toilet chip repair at your home in Wormley Hill

A crack that leaks cannot 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 have marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain alike.

In a village like Wormley Hill, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, and those are worth keeping. We work around original marks where possible.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Wormley Hill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Wormley Hill questions

Do you take on commercial work in Wormley Hill?

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.

Do you cover villages like Wormley Hill?

Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, at no extra charge.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. Somewhere as small as Wormley Hill, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Older homes around Wormley Hill may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
