How we handle toilet chip repair in Altrincham

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

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

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

Altrincham questions

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

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Altrincham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Altrincham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. 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. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Altrincham

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Altrincham as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Altrincham

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
