Toilet chip repair at your home in Whitworth

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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Whitworth and across Rochdale. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitworth

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Whitworth

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

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

How the visit works

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

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in Whitworth

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitworth use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
