Toilet Chip Repair in Greenwith Common
Toilet chip repair across Greenwith Common and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the pan or rim

For landlords and businesses
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Toilet chip repair in Greenwith Common without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
