About our toilet chip repair in Birkby
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Birkby. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Birkby
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
