About our toilet chip repair in Accrington

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Accrington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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

What we are called out for in Accrington

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Accrington questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Accrington?
