How we handle toilet chip repair in Peel

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

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

Repair or replace in Peel?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Peel as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Peel

What about a leaking crack?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you accredited?

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

Is there any odour?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Peel. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
