Toilet chip repair at your home in Bongate
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Bongate questions
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work in Bongate?
We do. Technicians travel to Bongate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Landlord and trade work in Bongate
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Bongate
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why Bongate clients choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Normally one visit, start to finish

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bongate. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
