Repairing versus replacing in Barnhill
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 keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Same prices wherever you are

Toilet chip repair in Barnhill, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Barnhill as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Barnhill questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?

What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

What affects the price in Barnhill
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
