Toilet chip repair in Guide without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Guide and across Blackburn with Darwen. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

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

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Guide and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

  • One price list for the whole UK
