FAQs for Crafthole
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Crafthole?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Toilet chip repair in Crafthole without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Crafthole
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Crafthole
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Crafthole. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crafthole. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
Common problems we fix in Crafthole
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Crafthole customers choose us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
