Need toilet chip repair in Croston?

Toilet chip repair in Croston without replacing anything

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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

10 questions to ask before booking

Croston questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Croston. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Croston

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not 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.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our full price list.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it 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 match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
