Toilet chip repair near Tonge

About our toilet chip repair in Tonge

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tonge as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Tonge

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Rochdale.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Tonge?

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

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

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we work on in Tonge

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

Repairing versus replacing in Tonge

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tonge. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Tonge

For anyone letting property in or around Tonge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tonge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
