Repairing versus replacing in Battersby
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

About our toilet chip repair in Battersby
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Battersby
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
