Toilet chip repair across Salford: what to expect

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Repairing versus replacing

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire toilet

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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

Salford questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you work in Salford?

We do. We send a technician to Salford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
