Toilet chip repair in Slattocks

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we handle toilet chip repair in Slattocks

A crack that leaks cannot 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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. 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?

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.

If you are 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.

Common questions in Slattocks

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

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Rochdale.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Slattocks. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material 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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
