Need toilet chip repair in Thornton Hough?

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Thornton Hough

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Thornton Hough: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Are there extra charges for Thornton Hough?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornton Hough

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CH63 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Thornton Hough

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
