Trusted toilet chip repair in Stoke

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Stoke get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our toilet chip repair in Stoke

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.

We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Repair or replace in Stoke?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stoke. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Stoke: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover Stoke?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stoke. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
