Toilet chip repair in Miles Cross

Toilet chip repair in Miles Cross without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Miles Cross and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Miles Cross

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What affects the price in Miles Cross

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

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

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Miles Cross

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
