Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. For a rural home like those around Barkby, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area

Toilet chip repair in Barkby without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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 regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
Somewhere like Barkby, you may still have period sanitaryware, and those are worth keeping. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Barkby
Can you restore the original toilets in an older house in Barkby?
Typically: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we will advise.
Can you fix toilets in a rental near Syston station?
Yes. We fix toilets between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole toilet
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Barkby
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

- A crack through the bowl or trap
