Toilet chip repair in Bulk

How we handle toilet chip repair in Bulk

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Bulk

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work in Bulk?

We do. Technicians travel to Bulk from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bulk. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bulk. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours.

  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. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
