What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, 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. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

How we handle toilet chip repair in Ring o' Bells

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Ring o' Bells questions

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

The whole UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

What about a leaking crack?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

When to call us in Ring o' Bells

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

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Ring o' Bells

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
