About our toilet chip repair in Newchurch

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Newchurch

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Newchurch

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
