Toilet chip repair at your home in Chinatown
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
In a town like Chinatown, most toilets we repair are in family bathrooms and cloakrooms. Most damage is repaired where it is.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Chinatown
Can you repair toilets in a rental near Manchester Oxford Road station?
Yes. We repair toilets between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.
My house in Chinatown is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we will advise.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover Chinatown?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chinatown. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Chinatown?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Repair or replace in Chinatown?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. For a family home in Chinatown, replacing a toilet can mean days without the room. A repair normally takes a day or less.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us

When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Chinatown
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What affects the price in Chinatown
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
