Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

In and around Ince Blundell, older homes can have toilets that are hard to replace like for like. A repair keeps everything matching.

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Replacement in Ince Blundell means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.

Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Ince Blundell

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

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as St Mary's Church, period sanitaryware is worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can.

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
