Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Four Gates
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will 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. We regularly repair pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Four Gates and across Bolton. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Four Gates
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.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover Four Gates?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Four Gates. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Four Gates use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Four Gates. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
