Toilet chip repair near Wilmslow

Toilet chip repair at your home in Wilmslow

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wilmslow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Wilmslow

Do you work in Wilmslow?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wilmslow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cheshire East, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it messy?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

  • Chips on the pan or rim

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Where you are, by postcode

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
