Advice

How we handle toilet chip repair in Brown Moss

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Brown Moss questions

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Brown Moss?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Repairing versus replacing in Brown Moss

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Brown Moss

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
