Toilet chip repair for Castleshaw homes

Toilet chip repair in Castleshaw, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow an hour or two, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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 match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Castleshaw. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china

We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
