Toilet chip repair in Tansley, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, across cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is 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.

Tansley questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Tansley?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tansley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Tansley?

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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole toilet

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
