Trusted toilet chip repair in Wimbolds Trafford

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wimbolds Trafford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Toilet chip repair in Wimbolds Trafford without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Wimbolds Trafford

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?

All of Cheshire West and Chester, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover Wimbolds Trafford?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wimbolds Trafford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
