How we handle toilet chip repair in Clayton-le-Dale
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’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlord and trade work in Clayton-le-Dale
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans

Clayton-le-Dale: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
