How to compare quotes

Toilet chip repair at your home in Delph

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A crack that leaks water

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Delph. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OL3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Delph questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Delph included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
