About our toilet chip repair in Corby Glen
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, across porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Questions from Corby Glen
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Corby Glen
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
What affects the price in Corby Glen
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
