Toilet chip repair in Backford, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Backford questions
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Backford?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Backford customers choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
