How we handle toilet chip repair in Baslow
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole toilet
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, 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.
Baslow questions
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Baslow.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
