How we handle toilet chip repair in Blackley

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts 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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Blackley questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Blackley?

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

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Do you work in Blackley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Blackley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Blackley. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Blackley

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled

When a repair is not the answer

We’d 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
