Toilet chip repair in Broadholme, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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 in Broadholme?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Questions from Broadholme
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
