Common problems we fix in Westhead

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Toilet chip repair in Westhead, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Westhead, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Westhead: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you come to Westhead?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Westhead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lancashire.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
