Toilet chip repair at your home in Gilroyd
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gilroyd. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Gilroyd
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to Gilroyd?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gilroyd from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Repairing versus replacing in Gilroyd
Replacing a toilet needs 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gilroyd. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
See our prices page.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
