About our toilet chip repair in Boleside
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
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.

Boleside questions
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boleside. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Boleside
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
