About our toilet chip repair in Greenfoot
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Greenfoot. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ML5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Greenfoot
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
