Trusted toilet chip repair in Baxenden

Toilet chip repair in Baxenden, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Baxenden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Baxenden: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BB5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Baxenden?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
