Toilet chip repair in Collingtree, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For anyone letting property in or around Collingtree, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Collingtree
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?

There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What else we do in Collingtree
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?
