Toilet chip repair in Ribchester without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Ribchester

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you come to Ribchester?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ribchester. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can you do it?

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

What happens on the day

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, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ribchester, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs 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 do not 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 us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Ribchester

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.
