About our toilet chip repair in Earlestown

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, across vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Earlestown

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Earlestown

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Earlestown.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Earlestown as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
