When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Toilet chip repair at your home in Handley

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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Handley?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Handley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Handley, 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.

Handley: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Handley

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Handley

A new 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Handley customers choose us

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
