Toilet chip repair in Shifnal

About our toilet chip repair in Shifnal

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Shifnal, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Shifnal questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

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