Toilet chip repair in Parbold

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

Toilet chip repair in Parbold, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When to call us in Parbold

Common reasons people in Parbold contact us are:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

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

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  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. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Parbold

  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Parbold

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
