For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Cropper
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cropper. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
We don’t 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.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole toilet
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Cropper
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Repair or replace in Cropper?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
