Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise 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.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Baldersby St James
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, in porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Baldersby St James
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
Common problems we fix in Baldersby St James
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Baldersby St James. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Baldersby St James. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

Common questions in Baldersby St James
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What does toilet chip repair cost?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens next?
