What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Toilet chip repair in Ellerburn without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Ellerburn: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What we are called out for in Ellerburn
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Common reasons people in Ellerburn contact us include:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Ellerburn?
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 keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
