About our toilet chip repair in Harrogate

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help, on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in Harrogate?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Harrogate. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Harrogate

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across North Yorkshire.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans
