Advice
Toilet chip repair in Astbury, done in place
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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right, on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Astbury
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Astbury. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Questions from Astbury
Do you come to Astbury?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Astbury for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Astbury?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
