Toilet chip repair in Tarleton

Toilet chip repair at your home in Tarleton

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, in vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Tarleton

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes an hour or two in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Tarleton questions

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
