Aylestone Hill: your questions answered
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Aylestone Hill
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Aylestone Hill
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Common reasons people in Aylestone Hill contact us include:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What else we do in Aylestone Hill
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
