About our toilet chip repair in Greenlea
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Greenlea and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common problems we fix in Greenlea
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Greenlea
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Greenlea
- Pedestals

What affects the price in Greenlea
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
