10 questions to ask before you book

Toilet chip repair in The Handfords without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from The Handfords

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Staffordshire.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in The Handfords get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in The Handfords

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
