Repair or replace in Greenhills?
A new toilet means 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Toilet chip repair in Greenhills without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Greenhills
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Greenhills questions
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Greenhills?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Greenhills?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Greenhills. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
