How we handle toilet chip repair in Great Busby
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
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.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Great Busby
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Busby included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Great Busby?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Great Busby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Busby
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
