10 questions to ask before booking

Toilet chip repair in Nimble Nook without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Nimble Nook. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Nimble Nook

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater Manchester.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the 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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
