About our toilet chip repair in Clatterbridge

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Clatterbridge

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Clatterbridge

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Clatterbridge

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are there extra charges for Clatterbridge?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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