How we handle toilet chip repair in Greenlees
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Greenlees
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
