About our toilet chip repair in Shebdon

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

Common questions in Shebdon

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

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

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Shebdon?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Repairing versus replacing in Shebdon

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. 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, with no extras added later.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
