Our toilet chip repair service in York
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for York. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in York
For anyone letting property in or around York, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in York as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in York
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
