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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

About our toilet chip repair in Heywood

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We are frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we’re called out for in Heywood

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Common reasons people in Heywood contact us include:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rochdale and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heywood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Heywood

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
