Toilet chip repair near Mottram in Longdendale

Toilet chip repair in Mottram in Longdendale, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Mottram in Longdendale

  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
