Toilet chip repair at your home in Irlam

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Irlam, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Common problems we fix in Irlam

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Irlam

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
