DIY kit or professional repair?
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 normally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
About our toilet chip repair in Balmore
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Balmore
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Balmore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
