DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Toilet chip repair in Barton, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Barton and across North Yorkshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Barton
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Barton. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire toilet
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
