How we handle toilet chip repair in Wareside

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, across toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repair or replace in Wareside?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our full price list.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Wareside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

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

Common questions in Wareside

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
