Toilet chip repair in Hanmer

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Toilet chip repair in Hanmer without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace in Hanmer?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hanmer. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Hanmer

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Hanmer

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Hanmer?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Hanmer?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Hanmer from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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