Toilet chip repair at your home in Harpur Hill
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Harpur Hill: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Harpur Hill.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Harpur Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Common problems we fix in Harpur Hill
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Harpur Hill. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes one to two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Harpur Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
