Toilet chip repair at your home in Scholes
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you have damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans alike.
In Scholes, we work in older houses and new builds alike, and the toilets vary just as much. We match the colour and gloss on site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Scholes as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Scholes
I let a flat near Ince station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, we often work between tenancies, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Can you restore the original toilets in an older house in Scholes?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send pictures and we will advise.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it. In a town like Scholes, most homes have a driveway or nearby street parking, so arranging the visit is straightforward. Tell us if the toilet is upstairs or in a flat.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means 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. Around Scholes, a new toilet rarely matches what’s around it, while a repair keeps everything as it is.
