How we handle toilet chip repair in Unsworth

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Unsworth

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Unsworth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we are called out for in Unsworth

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

What toilet chip repair costs

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
