Toilet chip repair in Frankwell without replacing anything

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 tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Frankwell and across Shropshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes one to two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Frankwell

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Frankwell. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we’re called out for in Frankwell

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Common reasons people in Frankwell contact us are:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
