Toilet chip repair in Dalton-in-Furness without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Dalton-in-Furness

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to look after the finish

Questions from Dalton-in-Furness

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you work in Dalton-in-Furness?

We do. We send a technician to Dalton-in-Furness for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
