Repair or replace in Cosgrove?

Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Cosgrove
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cosgrove and across Northamptonshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cosgrove. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Cosgrove get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Cosgrove: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
