Toilet chip repair near Shawbury

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

About our toilet chip repair in Shawbury

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Shawbury

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Shawbury?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shawbury from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shawbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shawbury, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Shawbury

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repairing versus replacing in Shawbury

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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
