Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Great Dalby, Leicestershire
Chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics in Great Dalby, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Great Dalby
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is

- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Great Dalby: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Dalby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
