About our toilet chip repair in Empingham
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Empingham as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Empingham

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Empingham
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Empingham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What affects the price in Empingham
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Empingham. The price depends on:

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Empingham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Repair or replace in Empingham?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
