Toilet chip repair in Bolton

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

About our toilet chip repair in Bolton

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Bolton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bolton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire toilet

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 will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Bolton

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Bolton questions

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Does someone need to be in?

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