How we handle toilet chip repair in Harrowcross
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Harrowcross
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Harrowcross. Prices don’t change with location.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Harrowcross, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace in Harrowcross?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
