About our toilet chip repair in Gorton

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gorton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gorton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Gorton

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gorton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

If you’re in Gorton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Gorton

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
