10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle toilet chip repair in Barlow Moor

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Barlow Moor

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barlow Moor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

Barlow Moor: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will 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. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
