Toilet chip repair in Hanley Swan without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, across porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hanley Swan as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice
FAQs for Hanley Swan
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
