About our toilet chip repair in Higher Blackley
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 is what we find. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Higher Blackley
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the entire of Rochdale?
All of Rochdale, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Higher Blackley

- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
- How to care for the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
