About our toilet chip repair in Crookes
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crookes as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Crookes: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Crookes?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
