How we handle toilet chip repair in Over Hulton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Our hiring checklist

Over Hulton: your questions answered

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Over Hulton. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

Most clients in Over Hulton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Over Hulton

For anyone letting property in or around Over Hulton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace in Over Hulton?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
