For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Balderstone
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Blackburn with Darwen. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Balderstone: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Balderstone?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Balderstone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Balderstone?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your photos
