Toilet chip repair in Gawthorpe without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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 are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?

- One price list for the whole UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work

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 will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Gawthorpe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Gawthorpe. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
