Toilet chip repair near Boughton Malherbe

About our toilet chip repair in Boughton Malherbe

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Our hiring checklist

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Boughton Malherbe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Boughton Malherbe questions

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you cover Boughton Malherbe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Boughton Malherbe. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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