About our toilet chip repair in Shotwick

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Shotwick and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from Shotwick

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Shotwick?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cheshire West and Chester, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work in Shotwick?

We do. Technicians travel to Shotwick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
