Toilet chip repair in Southfield, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Southfield

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Southfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Southfield: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Repairing versus replacing in Southfield

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
