About our toilet chip repair in Clifton
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, in vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- A crack that leaks water

- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans

Advice
Clifton questions
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
All of York, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
