Toilet chip repair near Quernmore

About our toilet chip repair in Quernmore

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Quernmore and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Quernmore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Quernmore clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Quernmore. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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 price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Quernmore questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you need toilet chip repair in Quernmore?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
