Toilet chip repair near Samlesbury

Toilet chip repair at your home in Samlesbury

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Samlesbury questions

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

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 whole item with your PR5 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Samlesbury is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Samlesbury?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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)

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

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
