About our toilet chip repair in Copmanthorpe
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer
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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Copmanthorpe. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Copmanthorpe
Are there extra charges for Copmanthorpe?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Repairing versus replacing in Copmanthorpe
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
