Toilet chip repair in Altham without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Altham and across Lancashire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Altham
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common questions in Altham
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we’re called out for in Altham
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
