For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swinton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Swinton
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Swinton
A new 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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 will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

What else we do in Swinton
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Swinton: your questions answered
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Swinton?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Swinton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Swinton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TD11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
