About our toilet chip repair in Sandylane

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 booking.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandylane

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Sandylane

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sandylane, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Sandylane: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Repair or replace in Sandylane?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.
