10 questions to ask before booking

How we handle toilet chip repair in Middleton

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Middleton

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover Middleton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Middleton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Middleton and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Middleton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Middleton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
