Choosing a repair company

Toilet chip repair in Armitage Bridge, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Armitage Bridge as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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 pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Armitage Bridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Armitage Bridge

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HD4 postcode.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
