How we handle toilet chip repair in Urmston

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Urmston

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Urmston

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
