Toilet chip repair in Harby, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, across pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Related advice
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Harby
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Harby?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

What else we do in Harby
Landlord and trade work in Harby
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Harby
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Common reasons people in Harby contact us include:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
