Toilet chip repair in Arkholme without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Arkholme
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours, including clearing up.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Arkholme. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
