About our toilet chip repair in Crookgate Bank
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Crookgate Bank
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Repairing versus replacing in Crookgate Bank

What affects the price in Crookgate Bank
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Crookgate Bank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Crookgate Bank, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
For landlords and businesses
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
