Toilet chip repair at your home in Featherstone
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan

What affects the price in Featherstone
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Featherstone. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Repairing versus replacing in Featherstone
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
