About our toilet chip repair in Harraby
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Harraby?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Harraby: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
