Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gawsworth use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Gawsworth

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Gawsworth?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Gawsworth

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SK11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
