Need toilet chip repair in The Banks?

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Toilet chip repair in The Banks, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in The Banks?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not 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.

Common problems we fix in The Banks

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
