Toilet chip repair in Tunshill

Toilet chip repair in Tunshill, done in place

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not 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’s what we find. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rochdale. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Tunshill questions

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you cover the entire of Rochdale?

Everywhere in the UK, Tunshill included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to Tunshill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tunshill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Tunshill

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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.
