Toilet chip repair for Compstall homes

Toilet chip repair in Compstall, done in place

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’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Compstall

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Questions from Compstall

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you work in Compstall?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Compstall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Compstall

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Compstall

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
