How we handle toilet chip repair in Patricroft

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Patricroft

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Patricroft questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Are there extra charges for Patricroft?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Salford. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
