  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

About our toilet chip repair in Milton

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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Milton

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Milton

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Milton

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Milton clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

FAQs for Milton

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover Milton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Milton and the rest of Stoke-on-Trent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Milton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.
