About our toilet chip repair in Capenhurst

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

What we are called out for in Capenhurst

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price 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 you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Capenhurst

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

Capenhurst: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Capenhurst.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Capenhurst, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
