Toilet chip repair in Green Lane, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Green Lane. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Green Lane
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Other services in Green Lane
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
