How we handle toilet chip repair in Heathgates
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Heathgates?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlord and trade work in Heathgates
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common questions in Heathgates
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
