How we handle toilet chip repair in Braunstone Town
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, in vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Braunstone Town. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Braunstone Town
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Braunstone Town?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Braunstone Town. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
