10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle toilet chip repair in High Moor

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in High Moor

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for High Moor

How much does toilet chip repair cost in High Moor?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to High Moor?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to High Moor and the rest of Wigan. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How do I book?

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Moor

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around High Moor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in High Moor, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

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