Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Arnesby. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Arnesby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Toilet chip repair in Arnesby without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Arnesby
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Arnesby
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arnesby
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
