About our toilet chip repair in Great Harwood
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Great Harwood: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Great Harwood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Great Harwood and the rest of Lancashire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Great Harwood
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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, then guarantee it for a year.
