Toilet chip repair at your home in Astley Bridge

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace in Astley Bridge?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
