For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. 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, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Dobcross
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new 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. 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.

Questions from Dobcross
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your OL3 postcode.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Common problems we fix in Dobcross
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. 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.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
