About our toilet chip repair in Cleveleys
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Cleveleys
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
