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

About our toilet chip repair in Lawthorn

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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 work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What affects the price in Lawthorn

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Lawthorn

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

  • Marks on the outside of the pan

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Landlord and trade work in Lawthorn

For anyone letting property in or around Lawthorn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

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