Toilet chip repair in Brassington, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Brassington
Replacing a 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Brassington questions
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we are called out for in Brassington

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Brassington. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
