Toilet chip repair for Clock Face homes

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WA9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Clock Face

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Clock Face, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently 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.

Repair or replace in Clock Face?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
