Toilet chip repair for Tunstall homes

Toilet chip repair in Tunstall, done in place

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Tunstall: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 normally cheaper.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Tunstall

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

The process

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 let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  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. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
