Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Calthwaite. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Toilet chip repair at your home in Calthwaite
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Calthwaite
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
