Toilet chip repair at your home in Hartford

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Hartford

If you manage property in Hartford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

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.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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 you will get a fixed figure back.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Common questions in Hartford

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover Hartford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hartford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match

  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
