About our toilet chip repair in Mill Corner

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Mill Corner customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Mill Corner questions

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mill Corner. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mill Corner

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN31 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
