Toilet chip repair near Shelton

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Shelton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Shelton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Shelton

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

Shelton questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Shelton included. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you come to Shelton?

We do. Technicians travel to Shelton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Shelton

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Shelton

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
