Toilet chip repair in Hesketh Bank

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Toilet chip repair in Hesketh Bank without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, across toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hesketh Bank. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hesketh Bank. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Hesketh Bank

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

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. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Hesketh Bank questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hesketh Bank. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 before you book.
