Common questions in Dolphinholme
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
About our toilet chip repair in Dolphinholme
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Dolphinholme and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Dolphinholme
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dolphinholme use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in Dolphinholme?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Related advice
What affects the price in Dolphinholme
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Dolphinholme. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
