About our toilet chip repair in Cottam
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cottam. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size

When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit

- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
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 photos.
