Toilet chip repair at your home in Harraton
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What we’re called out for in Harraton
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan

FAQs for Harraton
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What affects the price in Harraton
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
