Toilet chip repair in Green Lane without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s 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 pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals.
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.

Honest limits

- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Green Lane. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add 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.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Green Lane?

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
