- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Diggle
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 tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Diggle, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Diggle questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover Diggle?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Diggle and the rest of Oldham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oldham.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Diggle?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
